i had a gasric sleeve in june 2011 and since november 2011 i have started to become more hungry after eating but also gettin pains in my stomac.. i was wondering as anybody else experianced this or as anybody got any diet tips? x

I think more information is probably needed - what are you eating? When are you drinking?

Are you taking an acid reducer?

I was wondering the same things...how much are you eating at one time...when does the pain come? Are you asking if the pain is hunger or do you feel hunger and pain?

I tend to get a stomach pain when I eat sugary stuff? I'm in agreement with everyone on what your eating, amounts your eating, etc.

I know if I eat too fast, or don't chew my food well enough I have issues. I make sure after I eat I wait the full 30 minutes to eat as well as 30 minutes prior. As long as I follow these I am good. Oh and I can't eat spicey yet, but it's only been 5 months. Nothing sweet either, things taste way too sweet to me now.

Based on the fact you mention you get hungry AFTER eating, I'm willing to go out there and say it's acid. Our sleeves will still create (or try to) as much acid as it did pre surgery, so we get a big over abundance of it. It may feel like hunger to some people.

Are you on any kind of acid blockers or PPI's? I'm on Zegerid and it seems to help a great deal. I know many others take either prescription or Prevacid, or Nexium.

Maybe you should ask your Dr. about it, or try some OTC medications to help you. Good luck!

Hi Sheila

Aside from the Acid issue, I'm also thinking that you're probably feeling hunger as well due to the amount of carbohydrates you're eating. Normally when I'm eating all carbs, I will get really hungry and really fast too. My body just burns right through it. Perhaps when eating your carbs, couple it with some dense Protein as well. Eat the protein first, then the carbs next. Also you might fare well with eating more vegetables.

Good luck to you! This isn't easy to figure out what works and what doesn't. Hang in there and keep on pushing.

o thank you.. thats the thing my surgury was rushed so i never had time to ask questions before as my head was jus full of information.. so now i am 100% clueless as to what i should be eating less or more of my diet adviser doesnt give me no information about portion size or anything and 7months on i still dont know nothing thank you for you advice x
